Matt Reeves and Warner Bros.' upcoming The Batman has found its Catwoman: Zoë Kravitz has nabbed the role of one of the highest-profile members of the Caped Crusader's rogue's gallery, according to several
sources.
The decision came down over the weekend after a rigorous testing process that saw Ana de Armas, Ella Balinska, Eiza Gonzaacutelez and Kravitz read with Robert Pattinson, who is set to play the Dark Knight.
Reeves is directing what is described as a grounded take with a large rogue's gallery as the antagonists. Jeffrey Wright is already on board as Batman ally Commissioner Jim Gordon.

Catwoman is one of Batman's classic foes who also happens to be one of his longest-lasting loves. A cat burglar whose weapon of choice is a whip, the antihero is the alter ego of Selina Kyle. She was a
fixture on the 1960s Batman television show, on which she was played by Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt. Michelle Pfeiffer portrayed the character in her most popular big-screen incarnation,
1992's Batman Returns, while Halle Berry toplined a 2004 solo outing, which bombed at the box office. Anne Hathaway also played the character in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises.
Kravitz recently co-starred on HBO's Big Little Lies and is set to star in the small-screen version of High Fidelity, which is being made for Hulu.
Editor's Note: With the list actresses who repotedly read for this part, this casting is a bit disappointing. I've never been impressed with Zoe Kravitz's acting ability.
